A uHaul truck is kind of overkill for a cabinet.
Get a friend with a pickup truck, or a large minivan.
Failing that, rent one.

oh yeah i dont have my lisence yet lol

If you CAN'T find a friend with a truck, the see if you can't get a tow hitch for your vehicle, and rent a small u-haul trailer. Even buying the hitch, and renting the trailer should be cheaper than renting the uhaul AND paying all the gas in it, and then you will own a hitch.

but i cant drive lol. If anyone livves near fairfield and feels so kind , please reply.

Oh, in that case, ask your parents for help. Or, being that you don't have a license, I am betting that you are way young, and way young people tend to have a lot more friends than older people (because of school), thus, ask a friend who has a truck or van.
How would you rent a uhaul if you can't drive?

hahah thats hwat i otold my dad. ... and im 20 , just temporarly needed help with my permit , see im legally blind lol!

Definitely find someone (dad, grandfather, friend, random redneck) with a pickup and rent an appliance dolley from uhaul or the like. They are about $15 to rent or you can buy one at a hardware store for about $100 i think. If all else fails call around to some moving companies and see how much they could do it for, though this is probably going to cost you a bit.

Step One:
Get a platform dolly
Step Two:
Put the cabinet on top of it
Step Three:
Make sure it's centered so it won't tip over.
Step Four:
Liberally apply grease to each wheel so it will spin freely.
Step Five:
Take a piece of rope and secure the cabinet to the dolly
Step Six:
PUSH LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT!
Step Seven:
Laugh all the way to the bank as you count the money you saved by not giving it to U-Haul
Other than asking someone you know for help, this is the only way you'll do this cheaply. If you're not into pushing this thing all that way, get an appliance dolly like Paige said, and PULL LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT!
Did that help?
p.s.
LMAO
;D
